Notes

For dairy-free, substitute milk with plant-based alternatives and butter with vegan options.
Experiment with toppings like caramel, mint, or chocolate chips for variations.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat when desired.
Always use very hot water to ensure a rich, velvety sauce.
